<VV> Corvair trans? to VW chassis adaptor?

[Jim Briggs]

I'm hoping some of you can give me some insite into what I've run across 
today. I answers and add for come corvair parts today and buried in the pile 
was what I assumed was an old but never used adaptor for putting a Corvair 
Trans and axles into a VW torsion bar rear suspension. There was an old 
musch worse for wear Craown Catalog in the pile also which showed a similar 
but not exact piece on ne of their conversion kits. This piece has an EM 
axle bearing bolt pattern on the outer
surface of a 4inch tube (I assume for the axle itself) and what appears to 
be a VW torsion blade bolt pattern on the inner surface.  There is also a 
long triangular section for the shock attachment.

What is throwing me off is the inch diameter 12 long tube that project 
inward. the end of it is internally threaded. The only thing that I can 
think of is that there is or was another piece of this puzzle that bolted to 
the VW "fork" that these two pieces bolted to.

Was this a Trans Vair piece?  I dod not see  this type of piece on the Crown 
Catalog picute.

Any help appreciated!
